Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

It’s a pity that Lan Ke didn’t know that ‘Lucy’ had already been waiting for her ‘guest’ in the living room.

However, the "prank" was limited. After all, the second floor was only so big, so they had to go to the first floor. They saw that in the originally dark villa, only the living room had lights on, as if inviting them to visit.

Thinking of this, Lan Ke couldn't help but chuckle.

"It seems that the owner here is more enthusiastic than we thought?"

Because of the mask, Lan Ke's voice became low and hoarse, which seemed particularly strange in the almost dark villa.

Emiya Shirou said nothing about this, but just moved his fingers silently.

It was obvious that if the woman called 'Lucy' did anything she shouldn't have done, he would make her regret it.

The two of them walked into the living room without even slowing down, and then saw a silver-haired woman leaning on the sofa and fixing her hair.

Almost at the same time as Lan Ke and Emiya Shirou walked into the living room, the other party also spoke.

"Couldn't you two choose a more appropriate time to visit?"

Lucy's slightly complaining voice sounded as if she was complaining about her friend not knowing how to choose the time, but Lan Ke keenly noticed that the other person's muscles were unconsciously tensed.

It was obvious that she was not as confident as she looked.

Lan Ke did not point it out, but continued speaking along the lines of what the other party said.

"From what you said, it seems that you have already guessed that we would come?"

"Of course, but I didn't expect you to come so soon..."

Lucy's words undoubtedly piqued Lan Ke's interest...or to be more precise, alerted him.

When they changed 'Z''s heart before, they were almost blocked at the door by Josuke Higashikata, and this time the target they were looking for also claimed that he almost discovered them.

How could Lan Ke not be alert?

He even doubted whether they would be able to find any pattern?

However, he didn't show it, instead he sat down on the sofa in front of 'Lucy'.

As for Emiya Shirou, he instinctively stood beside Lan Ke. Although he didn't say a word, an invisible sense of oppression spread towards Lucy...

Chapter 20 'Phantom Thief CH?'

Although Lan Ke thought his attitude was quite friendly, he even deliberately lowered his voice when speaking.

But he seemed to have forgotten that he was not alone today.

Although Shirou Emiya only took a step forward, Lucy felt an instinctive fear, like a small animal being targeted by a large beast.

But even so, she still tried to restrain herself.

After all, even she herself did not realize that her purpose had changed unknowingly.

Initially, she only intended to trick the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' into dealing with the mastermind behind 'White Dove Pharmaceuticals', but when the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' actually showed up, she realized that they were more terrifying than she had imagined.

At this time, her thoughts had quietly changed.

She knew that she would never be able to escape from the Five Finger Mountain of the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts'. The moment she was targeted by the 'Bird-Beak Mask', she felt as if her soul was frozen, so she simply decided to go all out and fight 'Baijiu Pharmaceutical' and 'Arasaka Technology' directly!

0 million yuan

It was this hysterical mentality that allowed her to remain calm even though her muscles were all tense due to tension.

"I just didn't expect you to take the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts Support Website' more seriously than I thought."

A support website for the Phantom Thieves of Hearts?

What the hell?

1㈡1㈨

Could it be that this young woman named 'Lucy' is their...fan leader?

In this case, Lan Ke actually understood a little. Could it be a website similar to the "Phantom Thief Channel"?

wrong!

If the other party is really just a fan leader, then seeing them, if not ecstatic, at least you shouldn't be afraid.

Thinking of this, Lan Ke simply raised his right leg, hugged his knees with both hands and turned to stare at Lucy.

"Is that really all?"

Although she couldn't see Lan Ke's eyes at all because of the mask, for some reason, when Lan Ke was staring at her, Lucy felt more pressure than when Shirou Emiya stared at her.

Just one rhetorical question put Lucy in a dilemma.

affim?

Doesn't that mean she did this all for herself, and had no time to build relationships? She originally planned to run the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts Support Website' for a while longer, so that even if they came to her door, she could at least say that 'even if she had no credit, she had worked hard'.

But I can't say it now.

So deny?

The novel of Xianxun: Eighth Generation of the Nine-Year-Old Man

Maybe you will miss the best opportunity and it will even be difficult for you to speak again.

Looking at Lan Ke who didn't say a word, Lucy suddenly found that she couldn't understand the man in front of her.

If the 'Skull Bakusozoku' gave her the feeling of a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey at any moment, then this 'bird-beaked monster' gave her the feeling of a large cat playing with its prey.

More importantly, does the other party really not know?

In other words, even if we don't know now, won't we know about her relationship with 'Baijiu Pharmaceutical' or 'Arasaka Technology' later?

Thinking of this, her originally troubled expression gradually became calmer.

"As expected of the leader of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, you saw through my little trick at a glance. So, I won't beat around the bush. I was actually trying to get your attention this way..."

As soon as Lucy finished speaking, Emiya Shirou instinctively grabbed the two guns at his waist.

It was obvious to him that Lucy's words were undoubtedly saying that she had deliberately set a trap for them, but before he could draw his gun, Lan Ke directly pressed his hands.

"Calm down, Rider. I don't think 'Miss Lucy' has any hostility towards us. After all, she's probably in a difficult situation right now. Those two clueless thieves who were brought to the police station today were probably there to capture you, Miss Lucy, right?"

As he spoke, Lan Ke lowered his raised right leg, slowly leaned forward, and placed his hands on his knees at his mouth.

"So, I assume you want to draw our attention, Miss Lucy. You probably have something to tell us, right? For example... who are the people behind those two 'stupid thieves'?"

The reason why Lan Ke called the two 'big men in black' he caught 'idiots' was because they obviously caught the wrong people.

Lan Ke tried to get some information out of Higashikata Josuke by saying that he was concerned about what the bad guys he caught were planning to do, but he didn't expect that the other party said that the two big men in black who were caught by DK and JC were unexpectedly tough, and only said that they were short of money recently so they wanted to make some money.

But in fact, based on what Lan Ke and the others heard, they obviously wanted to arrest someone who had something to do with "computers".

Before, Lan Ke couldn't figure out who they wanted to catch, but now, the various cameras installed not only outside Lucy's home but also inside her home, coupled with her mysterious identity, have undoubtedly pointed the answer to her.

And Lan Ke's reasoning undoubtedly made Lucy's pupils shrink slightly.

She was not surprised that Lan Ke could guess her purpose. After all, she had no intention of hiding it.

What she didn't expect was that the two 'idiots' who tried to arrest her had just been taken to the police station. Logically speaking, even if they were interrogated, they shouldn't be exposed so quickly, after all, they were just 'robbing'.

But the Phantom Thieves of Hearts not only noticed the two idiots, they even guessed that their target was them.

"How terrifying~"

"Thank you~"

Facing Lan Ke's low voice, Lucy looked at Lan Ke deeply, took a deep breath, and then spoke again.

"Those two guys must be from Baijiu Pharmaceuticals. I took a job online to steal Baijiu Pharmaceuticals' drug information. I didn't expect that Baijiu Pharmaceuticals, which looks like an ordinary company, actually has an extremely sophisticated network defense system. Even I was almost tracked down by them..."

This time, Lucy didn't beat around the bush, but told Lan Ke everything she had encountered, while Lan Ke listened silently, with no intention of interrupting her.

"But even so, they still locked on some suspicious areas. I modified the information of this house and the electricity consumption, and it has not been discovered for the time being, but they kept sending people to conduct carpet searches in all suspicious areas."

"This is crazy! I haven't even accessed their core server! The peripheral data is completely meaningless..."

Although at first she was just describing the situation, as she spoke, Lucy unconsciously added some personal emotions.

After all, in her opinion, the person behind Baijiu Pharmaceuticals is simply a mad dog! !

But what she didn't know was that Lan Ke frowned slightly, feeling that this 'Baijiu Pharmaceutical' sounded familiar?

However, Shirou Emiya always felt that Lucy's words sounded familiar. How could they be similar to the information he had hired someone to find on the Internet before?

And 'Lucy' and 'LC'... do seem somewhat similar?

As the matter regarding 'Baijiu Pharmaceutical' came to a temporary end, Lan Ke also asked about a point that he was most concerned about.

"Although you, Miss Lucy, are very confident in your hacking skills, as the saying goes, 'There are always people better than you'..."

Lan Ke originally wanted to say that the other party's judgment was too subjective, but he didn't expect that Lucy, who had been quite humble since they met, suddenly became strong.

"Of course I know this, but I have enough confidence..."

As she spoke, she lifted her hair and walked towards Lan Ke and the others, revealing her snow-white neck.

But both Lan Ke and Emiya Shirou noticed the abnormality on each other's neck at the first moment.

As if she had guessed their confusion, Lucy tore off a patch on her neck, revealing a metallic interface.

Lan Ke was stunned for a moment, and then a rumor he had heard in his previous life instinctively popped up in his mind.

"Is this... a brain-computer interface?"

That’s right, it’s the rumor that “brain-computer interface” will be included in medical insurance.

Although they were both surgeons, Lan Ke was better at 'thoracic and abdominal surgery' in his previous life, so he didn't know much about 'brain surgery'. However, he later entered the 'Medical Department' due to an 'accident' and had nothing to do anyway. After ending his 'autistic period', he often looked for people to chat with.

During this period, he also gained some understanding of "brain-computer interface".

This thing is not as magical as many people think. In fact, before he traveled through time in his previous life, the technology of "brain-computer interface" had already begun to be used by some people. However, it is not like what most people imagine, that is, directly adding a computer in the human brain. Instead, it reads "neural signals" through special "external devices". The most practical use is for various paralyzed patients.

Through the 'brain-computer interface', we can directly bypass the nerves that cannot be used for various reasons, and then use something like an 'exoskeleton' to move normally.

In fact, the famous Hawking also used related technologies to be able to communicate normally with others.

However, Lan Ke didn't know more detailed information.

After all, he only knew a little out of curiosity at that time.

But Lucy obviously didn't expect that such "professional terms" would come out of Lan Ke's mouth.

But after her initial surprise, she shook her head.

"It's not just a 'brain-computer interface', but goes one step further. It's directly replacing part of the human body with an electronic device, allowing the human brain to directly control the electronic device..."

As Lucy spoke, she snapped her fingers lightly, and the lights in the room turned on.

And she looked at Lan Ke with burning eyes.

"like this."

Compared to Lan Ke who was still able to remain calm, Shirou Emiya's eyes under his helmet had unconsciously widened. After all, according to the other party, in this world full of electronic devices, couldn't the other party do whatever he wanted?

But Lan Ke knew very well that the other party was not as exaggerated as she said. After all, if it was really possible to control any electronic device at will, then the two pursuers would have died without a trace long ago.

Take the computer at home as an example, how should the other party solve the simplest problem.

For example——————heat dissipation?

Seeing Lan Ke moving his head slightly as if he was staring at her hair that was dripping with water, Lucy sighed helplessly in her heart.

It was as if the opponent could read her mind and guess all her weaknesses...

Chapter 21 Let's burn Arasaka to ashes together!

Can Lan Ke read minds?

Of course not!

He was just imitating a certain "wooden-headed detective" and making reasonable deductions based on the existing information.

But it seems that my reasoning is correct again?

But there is one thing that Lan Ke cares about very much.

"I'm curious. This kind of skill is clearly not something that ordinary people can accomplish. 'Miss Lucy,' you seem to have acquired this ability through other channels, right?"
